1, Dates of Meetings for 2001 :-
After consulting with David Lloyd Jones, whom had the dates of meetings at Leicester
the following dates for the NW Area committee meeting were decided:-
Feb 6th 2001
May 8th 2001
June 12th 2001
Sept 11th 2001
Oct 2nd 2001
AGM Dec 4th
All meetings to be held at the usual venue and scheduled to start at 8.00pm.
2, Fred Skinner Barton MFC detailed his clubs proposed improvements to their site and some of the ways that they were trying to raise the capital to do so. The meeting felt that the idea of a raffle with substantial prizes was very good indeed. David Lloyd Jones suggested enlisting the help of Poppy Gowler whom always does very well selling tickets at the Nat's.
3, Alan Cantwell Oldham & Dist. outlined some of the achievements of his club including having the National Fun-Fly champion within their ranks. This is quite remarkable as at the moment they do not have their own flying site.
4, Derek Gilbert NW Area Treasurer asked if the Area should continue supporting the NW Aviation Heritage Society with our annual donation of £15. The meeting agreed that we should consider doing so.
5, Keith Barker Rochdale outlined the problems he was facing and asked for
the Area's support.
It was proposed that the Area fully support Keith and also contact the head
office and request their support also. Proposed CLMG and seconded BMHC
The motion was passed unanimously.
6, Steve Ogden NW Area Sec asked if the Area was going to continue running it's Fly-In. Because of time constraints Vice Chairman Roy Allam suggested that the matter be put on the agenda for the next full meeting.
7, David Lloyd Jones Area Pro commented that he thought that some of the comments contained within a ACE's report about the new "A" test were unjustified. Again because of time constraints the matter would be put on the agenda for the next full meeting..
The Meeting ended at 10.25pm. These minutes are provisional until approved at the next meeting 6/2/2001.
